What is the
right ‘sleeping climate’?
28 - 29 degrees in the sleeping space between the
quilt and the mattress.
Why do I need airflow in my
mattress?
A mattress or ‘sleeping climate’ that does not allow
airflow retains heat and moisture which can lead to
the growth of bacteria and mould (in one night the
body can lose up to 700ml of moisture).
How do I wash my mattress
covers?
Unzip the cover and unclip the hooks located behind
the handles on the side of the mattress. Simply lift
the cover from the mattress and machine wash at 60
degrees
Can I buy replacement or
spare mattress covers?
Yes, replacement/spare covers can be purchased at
the store you purchase your BICO mattress from.
Can I use a mattress
protector?
Yes, however for optimum air circulation, regular
washing of the cover may eliminate the need for a
mattress protector. If you do use a mattress
protector, it should be manufactured from a
lightweight and breathable fabric.
Can I use an electric
blanket?
Yes, however the air circulation properties of the
mattress may be reduced. If you need to use an
electric blanket, please ensure it is made from a
breathable fabric.
What kind of base can BICO
or NOTTINBLU mattresses be used on?
BICO or NOTTINBLU mattresses should be used on a
base that provides enough support and ventilation to
allow your customer to achieve maximum benefit from
the mattress. For more information on support
systems, please refer to the ‘Support Systems’
section of this manual.
Is mattress zoning
important and effective?
Yes. The body is not flat and therefore needs varied
support zones through the mattress. The BICO and
NOTTINBLU mattresses are zoned to support the whole
body evenly. This ensures that the body is correctly
aligned. Sometimes a period of adjustment is
required to become used to this new, healthy
sleeping position.
